• Provide collection guidelines and promotional materials to drive hosts.
• Coordinate collection dates and product pickups with Operations.
• Maintain records of collection drives and donated items.
• Respond to inquiries about volunteering and hosting collection drives.
• Work with the Managing Director to promote volunteer opportunities and expand community involvement.
• Provide brief monthly updates to the management team.

What We're Looking For

• Experience organizing volunteers, community initiatives, or school and business partnerships is helpful but not required.
• Friendly, dependable, collaborative, and comfortable taking initiative.
• A commitment to helping others and supporting our mission.

Approximately 3–5 hours per week, with flexibility around volunteer activities, community events, and collection drives. Some on-site availability in the Greenwich area is required.

This is an unpaid volunteer leadership position reporting to the Managing Director. The role includes participation in a monthly management team meeting.
